Fifty Shades of Grey movie casting is understood to be moving forward at this point. It is speculated that certain actors have already been shortlisted for the role of Christian Grey. If it comes down to Chris Hemsworth ("Thor") and Henry Cavill ("Man of Steel"), which actor is more likely to get the coveted role?

The film adaptation of E.L. James' "Fifty Shades of Grey" erotic series will reportedly run in cinemas barely a year from now. Two actors playing fit and sexy superhero characters are among big fan favorites for the role. Both Henry Cavill (Man of Steel 2013) and Chris Hemsworth (Thor, Thor: The Dark World) happen to possess the best sculpted abs in the industry today. No wonder many fans are rooting for them to play Mr Grey. Both actors, however, have not sounded too eager to win the part.

Fifty Shades of Grey Movie: How Sexy Should Christian Grey Be?

The Fifty Shades movie storyline at IMDB.com is quite deceiving in its very early update: "A literature student Anastasia Steele meets a handsome, yet tormented, billionaire named Christian Grey." (Let's give the synopsis writers some time.) It must be mentioned that the film is largely about BDSM or unconventional sex, with a dash of romance.

With that, it is clear the actor who will get the male lead role has to be in great shape, no qualms in nude scenes, and willing to portray the sex dominant role. The same thing goes for the female lead (Anastasia Steele). Being fan-cast for the Grey role is a compliment to the actor's physique, as understood by movie fans.

Kelly Marcel, the screenwriter for the FSOG movie, is believed to have completed the screenplay between late 2012 and early 2013. Has any actor read that script yet? Fans are about to find out soon enough.

Comic-Con: Henry Cavill and Chris Hemsworth Talk Superhero Roles?

Unknown to many, Cavill did approach Hemsworth once in a comic con convention. They talked briefly about films, but apparently not about the Christian Grey role.

Speaking to Shortlist magazine, Henry Cavill recalled his film convo with Chris Hemsworth:

"I did briefly speak to Chris Hemsworth at Comic Con, who played Thor. I just walked up to him and said, 'Mate, I wanted to say hi, my name is Henry, I'm playing Superman. What's it like?' He said 'Don't worry about it. The fans are a lot more supportive than you think. They're behind you the whole way, so just enjoy it.' He's a really nice bloke."
